Chapter Ninety-Six: Sigh for the Truth
Regardless of where the toad came from, at least for now its cry has not awakened the person in the coffin, as long as it does not make waves, we should hurry away, this is not the time to make a difference.
But I was about to pull the poplar tree and walk quickly, when the toad made a move that made my scalp explode.
It jumped towards the coffin!
I was stunned!
It would be terrible if it was allowed to jump near the coffin and give the person inside a string of gas!
It wasn't fast to see it jumping, but even if we touched the apse, if the one inside woke up, we wouldn't be able to escape.
I didn't want to think too much about it, so I shoved my backpack and flashlight into Poplar's hand, pointed to the apse and pushed him, and motioned him to run.
Now someone had to stay behind to stop the toad.
Poplar suddenly became anxious, squeezed his eyebrows desperately, and pushed me in the direction of the apse.
I understand that he is saying that if I live, I can still continue the Yang family's inheritance, but he can't.
But it's all at this juncture, and he doesn't care what kind of inheritance he has.
If only one of the two can live, I'll die and let him live.
What's more, I'm in better shape than him now, and I have a better chance of holding the toad than him.
I ignored his tug, shook him off, and walked straight towards the toad, stopping it before it could jump to the coffin.
At this moment, I found that the toad in front of me was different from the fat mound we saw before, although it seemed to be the same species, this one had neither demonic energy nor heat, and I blocked the way, it could only jump left and right to dodge, and at the same time croaked, obviously there was no way to take me.
I couldn't help but be happy, since it was so cowardly, it would be easy to do.
If you change to someone else, in such a spacious place, maybe you can't take a toad jumping around, but Lao Tzu likes to catch toads when he is a child.
Although I don't like to eat, I can't stand the fact that there is an old man in my family who likes to stew toads and wine.
To catch this thing, you have to use the amount of advance, that is, aim in the direction where it is jumping, and wait for it there first.
But I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time since I joined the army, and my business is a little rusty, and I have failed even a few times.
But the angry thing was that when the thing saw that I couldn't pounce on it, it didn't rush to run, jumped in front of me, turned around and croaked at me.
I scolded in my heart: ", why do you dare to demonstrate with Lao Tzu!" ”
I gritted my teeth and took off my combat uniform, and when I opened it, I made a tiger pounce on it, and it just happened to cover it in my clothes.
Hehe, I'll see where you're jumping this time!
I reached out and fumbled a few times, and grabbed it out from under my clothes, this thing is still different from the usual toad, the body is neither slippery nor cold, but dry and warm, not much bigger than ordinary toads, two eyes are red, but at least it is not stupid to go home, after I caught it, it didn't scream, it seems that I am afraid that I will pinch it to death.
But as soon as I got up, I faintly caught a glimpse of a man standing in the darkness ahead!
Just now, all my attention was on the toad, and I didn't pay attention to when this person appeared!
Could it be that the one in the coffin is up?
Shocked, I took a few steps back.
But just a second before I could do it, the man turned on the flashlight.
I was relieved that it was a poplar.
This kid didn't leave!
Mother, do you want to die with Lao Tzu?
When I saw him coming, I raised my hand and wanted to beat him, but seeing his expression of dying to death, I was stunned and didn't fight.
I waved him to retreat, but he waved his flashlight and shone it to our left.
I turned my head to look at it, and I was shocked to realize that I had entered the range of the coffin, and I had almost reached the bottom of the jade steps, less than twenty meters away from the coffin.
At this distance, if it was really Mao Roar lying inside, he would have jumped up and hugged me warmly.
I understood what the poplar meant, since it was so close that it didn't react, there must be something wrong, so I simply looked forward carefully.
I pondered for a moment and nodded.
After all, it is likely that Zou Yan, the ancestor of Xuanmen, is buried inside, and we actually want to find out what the mystery of his burial ceremony is.
I wanted to strangle the toad, but although it was puffing up, it didn't say a word.
After thinking about it, I stuffed him into the pocket of my clothes, zipped it up, and saw that it was very honest in it, so I spared it for the time being, and was ready to go back and study whether this thing and the fat dun were the same one.
Then the poplar tree and I slowly climbed the jade steps against the yin wind.
The higher you go, the stronger the wind becomes, but if you look closely, you find that there is no trace of corpse gas in the coffin.
This strengthened our desire to find out.
It didn't take me a few steps before I noticed the anomaly.
The jade steps under my feet are uneven, with complicated seal scripts engraved on them, and some specious gossip hexagrams are presented in the meantime, at first glance I can't see the mystery of these things, but I squatted on the steps to study for a long time, suddenly woke up, slapped my head excitedly, and made a sixteen gesture at the poplar.
This should be the long-lost Fuxi Sixteen Hexagrams!
The current Xuanmen and Daomen only know the gossip of King Wen, and some people call it the acquired gossip, and it is said that it is also incomplete.
But with this incomplete gossip, the master can deduce thousands of mysteries in the world, and even calculate the fate of heaven and earth.
As everyone knows, I don't know how many sages and sages have personally testified that the sixty-four changes of gossip are unreasonable, and no matter how they are confirmed, they cannot be consummated, and they always feel that there are still unknown hexagrams in the underworld.
It is rumored that in the Yin Shang period, in addition to this acquired gossip, there was also an innate gossip that survived, but this gossip was erased by the gods because it could be regarded as ghosts and gods, and since then the world has no ability to deduce the things of ghosts and gods.
Whether this is the case or not, no one dares to say for sure.
However, the existing gossip cannot be divined about the affairs of the Yin Division, and it is an indisputable fact that life is not counted as death.
If these strange hexagrams in front of us are really the lost gossip, once they appear, they will definitely cause a huge earthquake in the Xuan and Taoist gates, and what will follow will definitely be an earth-shaking metaphysical change.
In comparison, the so-called Nine Shades Feng Shui Zhi can only be regarded as a fart!
At the moment, I didn't care about the poplar's reaction, and immediately took out my mobile phone to take a picture, but it took a long time to remember that the mobile phone could not be used in the water, and I did not have the habit of bringing pen and paper.
In desperation, I tore a piece of poplar's shirt, took out a knife and cut my index finger, and carefully traced it with blood and ink.
After carefully wrapping this thing and putting it in my backpack, I let out a sigh of relief.
If it is confirmed that this is really the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi, my Yang family's credit knife people will definitely move the rivers and lakes!
If you can realize a few points, see who dares to give Lao Tzu a big "roll" when Lao Tzu performs the sword technique!
After doing this, I stared at the coffin above, and my heart was mixed for a moment.
Just now while studying those hexagrams, I also pondered those seal scripts, although I don't know much, and what I have come up with is only a few words, but it is this few words that also helped me figure out another fact, which is also the reason for the existence of this strange tomb.
The sage in the coffin, whether he is Zou Yan or not, is worthy of our deep admiration!
I pulled the poplar tree to his knees on the jade steps and bowed to him respectfully.
Although I, Yang Lin, have never even knelt down for my parents in heaven and earth, except for my master, this time, I must pay him the highest salute.
Because this sage actually suffered from thousands of years of Yin Wind and Corpse Killing, he turned his body into a wind stone to suppress the Yin Wind Cave under this abyss, so as to avoid the disaster of Yin Wind raging in the world and turning thousands of miles of mountains and rivers into extremely cold places.
According to the seal text, this toad cellar abyss was born in the extreme yin land, since ancient times there have been frequent demons, in the pre-Qin period finally caused a catastrophe, a certain climate demon actually drilled through the nine yin wind land, resulting in the yin wind leakage, the earth frozen, and even directly caused the extinction of a race living in the mountains.
Qin Jun sent a strong man from the Xuanmen who was good at the Five Elements to suppress it, but after all, manpower could not reach the sky, although this sage tried his best to kill the demon who caused a great disaster, but he could not bridge the crack that led directly to the Nine Shadows, and only the legendary Wind Stone could seal it.
The Wind Stone is the same as the colorful stone of Nuwa to mend the sky, which only exists in legends and is nowhere to be found.
At this point, he could have gone back to resume his life, but the manpower was not enough, and Qin Jun would not have surrendered.
However, this sage, seeing that the originally rich mountains and rivers were plagued by the calamity of the yin wind, could not bear it, and knew that he had told his intentions according to the truth, Qin Jun would definitely not allow him to invite, so he pretended to be seriously injured, and asked Qin Jun for the fief where he lived, and lived for a long time, becoming a vassal state of his own for the people to recuperate.
Therefore, in ancient times, it was a wild place, and it did not affect the unification, Qin Jun allowed his invitation, and after he moved here, he made every effort to finally find a way to crack it before he died, and used the power of the whole clan and the whole country to build the altar, statue, and tomb of the abyss underground, and buried it as a living person, so as to bridge the crack and complete all the creatures living on this land.
The altar above is where the clansmen worship him, and all the strange things in this tomb are the result of his painstaking deduction, and he is afraid that the demons who have been killed will still have descendants, and he also finds the demon clan who is naturally restrained as the demon spirit who guards this place.
Time flies, and now it is impossible to verify whether his people are still living in this land, and it is unknown how terrifying the power of this Yin Wind Cave that leads directly to the Nine Shadows is, but it is not difficult to imagine from the Yin Wind that leaks out every month, if it is not for his suppression, the surrounding mountains, and even Dongning, Mudanjiang and other places, I am afraid that they will become as bitter and cold as the Siberian Ice Field.
Although in this way, I can be sure that the person in the coffin will not cheat the corpse, but I can't help but sigh a little in my heart.
Even now, his soul is still trapped in the corpse, and he endures the pain of the wind and bones every moment, how much compassion does it take to make such a resolute decision?
Compared with such sages, I, Yang Lin, am I too selfish?
